Presidents Report

 

Thanks to John and Dave for a new concept in sweepstake chopping . Blocks came from Ngakawau

By the Tylers. Golden Bay by John Waters ,  from Lone Star farms  by Dave McEwen   and Steve Winters from Nelson. Thanks to Tony Dense for peeling the blocks free of charge.  A great team effort.  A good afternoon of chopping by everyone at the Owen Hotel and pig  hunt.

 

 I feel there would be more advantages if coaches of New persons, if they paid more attention to body technique and weight into the blows in both underhand and standing. It can be done.

All Nelson-Marlborough chopping meetings appear to be ticking along as usual, thanks to the efforts of those running the events.

 

  We have a number of very keen new Axemen in Nelson and I wish them all the best for their future. Congratulations for their success in the past and wish them all the best for the coming season.

 

 Thanks to all the people and establishments that have sponsored and helped in any way to promote wood chopping throughout the Nelson-Marlborough and Golden Bays areas.

 

 Thanks to Doreen for keeping the books and finance in hand, also to Don and Doreen for Handicapping through out the Centre
